What do YOU expect in a good, modern shooter?

[Gabriel Dragulia]

bullets.
seriously though... I agree with MeXR...
Health bars. I miss the usual Health bar.
regenerating health annoys the hell out of me. you get shot, hide in a corner, and you can go on rambo-ing again.
I loved in RTCW:ET the fact that you had multiple classes, and possibilities (not that that's something I NEED in a modern shooter) but including a medic or medpacks or anything could add a bit more tactics to the game... you can't just run in and regenerate health by hiding for a second and running on. if you're low on health, you better make sure you don't get bloody shot and go for some health.
I loved those aspects of games, it makes you play completely different.
though classes would be fun (great attempt by brink... but I dislike the extra's and 'buffs' you can get) I love the extra's you get for playing a certain class more... but small extra's (the ones in wolfenstein were perfect) in Brink they're... meh... a good attempt, but meh...
so yeah, if you want to make a game and get me to play... do that.

How about a realistic weight to all your equipment? And realistic recoil perhaps?

I don't want to see some guy running full sprint and jumping while carrying a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle.
I don't want to see some clown running around and firing a full clip of sniper rifle ammo in less than 5 seconds.
I definitely don't want to see someone unload a full clip of a Deagle into my face without that asshat breaking both his arms.

Finally, remove 'infinite-spawn' corridors, grenade spamming, and perfect aim from the AI in single player modes.

/rant.

Headshots that don't kill a person [Exception if it was a Beast or a Giant kinda of like a a Bloat in KF]

and all i want is a Story in which i can come back to and enjoy and never play it the same way as before

Aiming down sights, health regeneration, cover system if it's a third person shooter.

Campaign that's not just bot matches, coop, multiplayer that's not just some tacked on bullshit.

Modifiable loadouts without any weapon pickups scattered over the map.

Good controls, 60 FPS... that's pretty much it.

A good story. Bioshock proved that it isn't that hard to have a compelling narrative in a shooter, even if it didn't have a multiplayer. There are plenty of games with multiplayer now, so I would be glad to see another game that skipped the multiplayer to have a freakin' awesome story.

I need a sprint function. I recently played a demo of CoD 3 (or was it 2?) and I kept clicking the left thumb stick to no avail. If you are going to have the player character move at a light jog then you NEED a sprint function, or else I will find you and blood will be shed
